arXiv:2601. 20334v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Robotic manipulation has increasingly adopted vision-language-action (VLA) models, which achieve strong performance but typically require task-specific demonstrations and fine-tuning, and often generalize poorly under domain shift.

World Action Agent (WAA) is a multi‑agent framework that lets vision‑language models (VLMs) directly pilot robots by operating within a visual action workspace. The workspace provides automatically selected contact views, editable action rehearsals, and in‑view correction to refine decisions before low‑level execution. WAA learns procedural skills from expert videos and human teaching, and its interaction traces can train smaller VLMs, achieving state‑of‑the‑art success on LIBERO‑Pro and improving out‑of‑domain performance on robosuite and Qwen3.5‑9B.

RoboSPA is a large-scale robotic manipulation dataset and benchmark designed to evaluate Vision‑Language‑Action models on fine‑grained spatial reasoning and long‑horizon procedural planning. It contains 10 task categories, 56 base tasks, and 280 variants across five difficulty levels, with 527K trajectories collected from multiple embodiments and scenes. The benchmark introduces diagnostic metrics beyond binary success, revealing that current VLA models struggle with complex spatial relations, precise execution, and memory‑intensive planning.
